family
Family unites us; but it's also a challenge. All about fighting to stay together, and loving every moment of it.
Christ Is King
Every culture has a throne. The only question is who sits on it. Some people crown themselves. Others crown society. Still others crown the government, or money, or pleasure. But someone or something always rules the human heart. The idea of living without a king is an illusion, because every human being worships something.

The War on Order
We live in a time when doing the right thing often feels like an act of rebellion. When honesty can ruin a career. When decency is mocked as naïve. When standing for truth invites hatred, censorship, and isolation. Somehow, the people who uphold virtue have become the villains in the story of modern culture.

The Death of “Live and Let Live”
There was a time when “live and let live” actually meant something noble. It meant respecting each other’s differences, coexisting in peace, and not forcing our personal views onto our neighbors. It meant freedom of conscience, speech, and thought. It meant that the person next to you didn’t have to believe what you believed for both of you to live decent, peaceful lives.

four journals. Runner-Up in Maps of the Self Challenge.
Journal #1. $2.99 from Walmart. Didn’t want to even buy the damn thing. Spiraled wire binding. Pink cover. I hate pink. “Okay, let’s try this instead. Go to the store and buy a journal. Write in it. Whatever you’re feeling. Just get it out. Let it out.”

A Blink of the Past
I stare into the dog’s single remaining eye and long for the past. Thea used to have the most beautiful ice-blue eyes — eyes that conveyed more expression than I’d ever thought possible in a dog: joy, spunk, peace, audacity… eyes that could tell me almost exactly what she was thinking at a given moment. A tumor stole half of that away last summer. And yet, Thea is still more herself than I have been in the last four years. Full of life and expression. Full of trust.

The Human Heart of Sahl

When Advice Felt Like Arrows: A Story of Dignity in Hard Times
Introduction: When Words Wound Instead of Heal It started with a well-meaning text from a friend: “You just need to stay positive. Everything happens for a reason.” I stared at the screen, exhausted, eyes swollen from a night of crying, and wondered—how can something meant to comfort feel so piercing?
